Quimey Quipan Restaurant

The restaurant is located on the Puerto Piramides sea shore, within the Peninsula Valdes. There is only a few meters between the restaurant and the sea, where you can easily sight whales in their natural habitat. The menu is very diverse, with several dishes of seafood, argentinean meat, and salads. The restaurant is managed by their owners ever since they opened in 1990.

Awful. 6 pound sterling for one of the worse salads in history. It´s not so much the money but the sheer lack of effort. The 2 processed strips of "ham" were some kind of luncheon meat. The one processed strip of cheese was hard on one edge. These were just thrown on top of the rest of the filler. The cabbage was also dry.
Totally over priced as well.
The bread was dry where it had obviously been cut hours before and left to go hard.
Olives were nice but then hey got those from a jar.
Avoid this place! Go across the street (no idea if better, but worth a try) or bring something with you from Puerto Madryn.
If it weren´t for the lack of eating options for visitors in the town/ on the peninsula, this place would surely go under.

La Estacion

Reviewed By Gerhard t

Guys only staff. Having a lot of fun with each other, but a bit too much. Could be more professional, focussing on the customer. Food is ok, but nothing special. They charge €7 for a side dish of fries or rice which is clearly overpriced. It's not too bad, just don't expect anything.

The Paradise

Reviewed By TalbotTravellers - Leamington Spa, United Kingdom

We ate here on Christmas Eve, it was expensive (nearly ARS$900 for two adults plus two children) but everything was delicious, especially the scallops! There was some initial confusion due to language barriers, but an English-speaking waiter came to our rescue. At midnight, each table was given a bottle of fizz (not a glass per person, a whole bottle!!!) and everyone went round and hugged everyone else... We had so much fun, especially the children, who felt thoroughly spoiled and had their first sips of fizzy wine.

Restaurante Las Restingas Hotel

Reviewed By Claudia D - Buenos Aires, Distrito Federal, Argentina

Very nice place, just in front of the beach. Excellent food. Good menu, variety of plates, desserts and wines are going to give you enough choice to have an incredible dinner. The waiters are so kind! Nice people who clearly like there jobs and are helping to keep the best remembrance of the place. I had the lucky to stay at the Restingas also. Absolutely the BEST CHOICE in Piramides!!!

El Refugio

Reviewed By dana n - menemsha

like so many restaurants in arg. this place doesn't open until 8pm. being philistine americans who want to eat at 6 we bypassed this place on our first night in piramides. mistake. second night we held on and were well gratified. a laid back, cozy interior was inhabited by a gracious hostess/waitress (aldana, she may also be the owner?) who made us feel immediately welcome. the service was better than argentine average and the food was very good all around. as the evening wore on aldana made sure we had everything we needed and left us with a warm memory of a pleasant evening well spent.

Towanda

Reviewed By dana n - menemsha

we came in for dinner on our first night. we were the only table seated inside as the outside was full so we were pretty hard to miss, yet we finally had to get up and ask the waitress to come take our order after a good 15-20 minutes of sitting. i would have understood if she'd been in the weeds and running her butt off but she was spending a good deal of her time talking to the young man who looked like he might work there, although there was never any active indication of this. we finally placed our order and received an average, uninspired meal. a very nice woman came over to apologize for the wait and being the easy-going twosome that we are we struck up a conversation. though we never did get her position, she seemed vaguely managerial. we mentioned dessert and she recommended the choc. mousse. we ordered it and it was quite good and a lovely surprise. we also ordered tea along with it. no tea. halfway through the mousse we reminded her. rather than simply getting it herself, she passed the request on to the phantom waitress and left. we never did get our tea. i've had limp service before but this was something else altogether.

Cosy atmosphere. We had a good lunch: good vegetarian Sandwich, milanesa de queso and a very tast brocoli pie. We came back the next day for desert: brownie right from the oven and a very good apple pie! Enjoy and buy something of the nice decoration.

Guanaco Cerveceria Artesanal

Reviewed By ClevelandWanderer - Cleveland

Came here on recommendation from our hotel. It's an easy walk (away from the tourist area where all the whale tours depart) so you need to know about it to look for it! Charming setting, great music - just loud enough! Fast, friendly service. We felt welcome right away. Selection of good Argentine beers, some local. Food was very good - we had pasta with seafood sauce and the sorrentinos with the "mixed" sauce (a creamy tomato sauce). Both were tasty! Very reasonably placed. We would definitely come here again - perhaps on our next visit to Piramides!
